THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, July 23, 1952 Provisions Of The New GI Bill For Veterans, Will Apply To All Veterans . Who Have Served Since June 27, 1950 The President has signed into law a new qf Bill for Veterans who served in the Armed Forces any place in the world since the start of the Korean Conflict on June 27, 1950. The New law provides five bene- fits, all designed to assist veterans in their return to civilian life. In- eluded are education and training; or insured loans for es, farms, and businesses; un- employment compensation; tering - out pay, and pob - finding help. The Education and Training pro- visions allow a veteran one and one-half days of training for each day in service after the outbreak of the Korean fighting regard- less of where the service was per- formed — up to a maximum of 36 months. However, veterans who have previously trained under ear- lier veterans training laws — the World War II GI Bill or Public Laws 16 or 89% for the Disabled — may get up to 48 months, minus whatever time ’ve already spent in training those ear- lier programs. A veteran may train in school or college, on-the-job or on-the- training establishment has been approved by an appropriate state approving agency and meets other qualifications of the law. Only one change of course program is al-- lowed, except under certain con- ditions determined by the Veterans Administration. Veterans in GI Bill Training will ive an education and training ance each month from the Government, to meet part of the of their training and liv- costs. Tuition, fees, books, sup- and equipment will not be paid by the Government; instead, they will have to be paid out of the monthly allowance. Rates for veterans in full-time training in school and colleges are $110 per month, if they have no dependents; $135 if they have one dependent, and $160 if they have dependent, Those receive lower monthly rates. Top monthly amounts for on-the- Job trainees are $70 without de- pendent; $85 with one dependent, and $105 with more than one de- pendent. The maximums for in- atitutional on-farm trainees are $95, $110 and $130, respectively. ‘The law requires that on-job and on-farm rates be reduced, at four- moath nerve, ed the training progresses veterans own increase. also specfies that vete- si 4 aaunien FYSTELRE te ith i i He ffi tH E & 2 F i f i ee j = mus- | Boston Man Mails Letter Addressed To Key West, Cuba It has finally happened. Convine- ed that our Island City is located in northern Cuba, a gentleman from Boston wrote the Key West Chamber of Commerce today and {| addressed his letter to Key West, Cuba. The Chamber answered the let- ter, furnished the information de- sired and informed the prospective visitor that the nation’s Southern- most City is just what tae phrase implies — the Southernmost city in the United States. for planning, construction and gen- eral acceptability. This provision doesn't apply to construction stated within 60 days or today, nor to hou- least a year before they were purchased with a GI loan. VA may refuse to appraise any dwelling or housing project owned or built by anyone who has at- in the house, failure to discharge contract liabilities, or unfair prac- tices in regard to contracts or mar- keting of houses. Also, VA may re- fuse to guarantee loans made by lenders who have failed to service loans adequately, who have failed to keep adequate loan accounting records, who have shown poor cre- dit judgment, or who have en- gaged in other practices detrimen- tal to the veterans or to the Gov- ernment. In the case of World War II vet- erans who have returned to active duty, their unused loan entitle- ment under the World War Two GI Bill will be replacedpby the same amount of entitlement under the new law. The result is that they won't be bound by the GI loan des e of July 25, 1957, set up in the earlier law; instead, under the new law, they'll have to years from the end of the present emer- gency to obtain GI loans. The new GI Bills unemployment compensation program, administ- ered through the states by the U.S. Department of Labor, provides un- employed Post-Korean veterans with payments of $26 a week, up to a total of 26 weeks. The top amount that any veteran can get, therefore, is $676. The unemployment program takes effect 90 days from now. It has been tied in with the new laws mustering-out program in the fol- lowing way: A veteran entitled to $100 mustering-out pay can’t get unemployment compensation until 30 days after discharge or 90 days from today—the effective date of the program— whichever is later. A veteran who gets $200 musterii out pay has to wait until 60 days after discharge or 90 days from now, while one who receives $300 must wait either 90 days after dis- » charge or 90 days after this date, whichever comes later. Eligibility requirements for the tion and Training, GI Loans and »| Unemployment Compensation — include (1) A discharge under con- | «| ditions other than Dishonorable; | (2) Active service any time after June 27, 1950 and (3) at least 90 days total service, unless dis- . | charged sooner for a service-con- - | mected disability.
